    • Interim CEO
      • May 2011 - Jan 2012

      Sales: 220 Mill. DKKStaff: 150Job description: Overall responsibility for Isabella’s activitiesAchieved: The Board fired the CEO and therefore it was agreed that I should take over his responsibilities until a new CEO was found. It was agreed that I should continue the strategy that was adopted for the company. After 2 weeks the board resigned and a new board took over instead (members of the Odgaard family and the former sales director of Isabella). The new board wanted to stop several of the company's development projects and this meant that I had to downgrade the company's goals and strategy for the year. They wanted instead to set full focus on the Poland project since this project would result in large economic benefits for the company's profit in the near future. Show less
